NZ Sprint Tri Champs 11 Feb '18

Good luck to all the Wellington athletes in Kinloch tomorrow. 750 m swim, 20 km bike, 5 km run. Short and sweet. Especially good luck to athletes I see often for coaching/training - Cathy Alderton, Julia Bracegirdle, Anna Guy and Gemma Kennedy. Cathy is the only one of them who has done this event out of the 3 of them. Have run tomorrow.

Ultraman Australia

Dave Oliver set a huge challenge for himself & knocked it off really well in May's Ultraman Australia. It would be fair to say everything went to plan and he finished an astonishing 6th place, out of 41 entrants. The event was comprised of 3 competition days -

Day 1 = 10 k swim + 146 k bike; Day 2 = 284 k bike; Day 3 = 84 k run

Sarah Dwen, Claire Samuels, Ange Clothier and I supported Dave to complete the course and had a ball. We were very proud of Dave and ourselves, it's fair to say! The event was fabulous and we may see another Tractioneer do it next year, aye Claire!

Ironman Athletes - hats off!

Wow, what a weekend we have just had. Claire, Mike, Sarah & Adrienne were so awesome during the Ironman event. All out-performed their goals by 30 mins! But for me it was the fun they had during the event which I was most proud of. What's a sport that you don't love? So, so proud. Thanks also to the great team of supporters who traveled to Taupo & added to an enormously memorable occasion. Coach is rapt!

Performances of the Week: Kinloch

Bayley .... breaking the Sovereign ribbon at the end of the women's event and showing a real maturity in the bike leg and on a tough circuit.

Callum Hancock showed the spirit of a great sportsperson by running in together with the other boy he was racing.

Kinloch National Sprint Champs

So this was the most important points event if you want to qualify for the NZ Team which will race in Mexico later this year. Double points on the offer. We had great results with the exception of Juliet not finishing due to a flat tire early in the bike leg. Bayley won the whole affair - that's the women's race! Callum Hancock ran over the line first in the youth event. Harrison was 1st overall off the bike and finished his best ever placing, 4th in the juniors. Liam had a stunning swim and run & finished 10th. Annabelle and Sarah Croxford finished there 1st big time events and loved the experience after feeling really nervous. Euan had a boomer and finished without injury (yay). Barbara finished 4 mins faster than last year & in doing so found the run tough. It was very hot and everyone suffered in the run leg. Sophia had her usual good race, in the shadows ... watch that one! David Brechin-Smith had a solid race but found the run hot stuff. Nick didn't race as he fell off his bike early last week (he's OK but a bit scrapped up). So it was a great showing. Cathy Alderton won her age group title also! Storming performance.

Well done everyone and also the supporters - The Hitchins; Korena Moon, The Hancocks and Myles Carson.

Performance of the Week

This week we have joint performance titles - Ange Clothier and Annabelle Brown. Both stood on the start line of their 1st triathlon finish feeling very nervous. For Ange it was her 3rd try at finishing a swim leg successfully. For Annabelle she had started to invest a lot of time training in this new sport. Both felt sick. Ange lept with delight as she successfully exited the swim before going on to finish the medium distance Scorcher - 500m swim, 20k bike, 5 k run - and Annabelle was all beaming smiles as she explained her feelings and how much she absolutely loved the experience. We're all really proud of you two - you put it on the line and came out winners!!

Half Ironman Results

What a wonderful 3 weekends of Half Ironman events and results we've seen.

* TAUPO 70.3 First was Taupo and then Rotorua. We had a few athletes doing Taupo and although Peter Kane hasn't been training with us so much lately I count him as one of our team and my super athletes. Peter finished 1st in his age group with a super sub 5 hr time. Tammy Reed finished in 4 hrs 54 mins. Mel did a PB and Anthony also had a solid event. Ross Capill team did a great job of officiating.

* IRONMOARI HALF Amy Barbara blitzed her first half I event with a 26 min swim (bit short in distance; 2 hr 53 min bike and 1 hr 52 min run. She did it fast and did it easy. We think she is destined for bigger things!

Feb 2015, TriNZ Youth Camp, Takapuna

I spent 3 days with 78 young Kiwi triathletes aged 14.5-18yrs of age in Takapuna over the weekend. We have some VERY talented athletes jiggling around in the wings of greatness. Some great nurturing will see us bring through some stars we can be very proud of! .....
